What do you hate about England and English people?

It had better theme parks than Scotland.
They have better access to them.


hahaha :)


!

That's Union, not Onion.

Most ridiculous British laws:

I know these are not just English, but i found this amusing...

Thats ridiculous

Myth


I believe and approve of that one.


Fallen out of use since the days of Ollie Cromwell.


Have you seen how much they drink there?


I haven't seen this yet. Man-boobs and beer-bellies are not enough to fool even British police.


You didn't mention the Welshman in Chester on a Sunday.

These are amusing and there are loads more. If you have time you should pick a particular city and look into the "by-laws" there are some funny ones there too. :)

oh shush i just found that on yahoo so i thought id share it on here. topless clerks in tropical fish stores... now thats an intersting one, and unlike the other ones it doesnt sound so out dated!

I hate the 'Its not my job' mentality.. usually involving call centres and long queues.

I also hate waitresses and sales assistants with no manners

(one gem of a waitress in Wigan actually pulled her ringing mobile out of her apron pocket while taking our order, had a quick chat, put her mobile back in her pocket, and continued taking our order... ignoring the fact we'd just heard her evening plans with her mate's boyfriend)

Stupid excuses on the tube.. including leaves on the line, sunshine in their eyes (they're on bloody tracks!), tracks too hot, tracks too cold, tracks covered in snow, staff shortages... lots and lots of excuses.

But mostly the UK isn't too bad... though a bit more deodorant on the tube especially in summer wouldn't go amiss.

my Scottish other half just informed me about that one, thank you :P

Therefore - people will reply!



but there would be some ridiculous reason why they should be topless - nothing interesting. BTW - the clerks were maybe male ;)

maybe when theyre topless theyre more prepared to rescue a client whos fallen in a fish tank and is drowning, without getting their t-shirt wet. hows that? ;)



if they were male, and clerks in a tropical fish store AND had to be topless, there should be a law for them to be buff, too.

I hate the ones with manners. Honestly, I don't want harassed.

It could be that - or some other oddball reason :)



Hmm, you could have a point ;)

or actually, if that law was not only for tropical fish store clerks, but all male clerks, to be topless AND buff, i think id love shopping even more....... :D

That goldfish comes from temperate waters. Put your clothes back on.

what you mean temperate huh?

hmm, another good point. Although, I don't liked to be distracted from a serious hat/shoes/clothes shop :) (even the mobile phone gets ignored :)

not arctic, not tropical, but... um... temperate.

oh yeah i know that feeling... its like a mission... do not disturb...

Yep :) And the worst thing - when someone wants to come with you on these shopping trips...no, no, no! They must be completed alone - don't need anyone else disturbing the shopping rhythm I have going :)

What I hate about England is that it is too far away form Canada.

exactly! take the husband and he'll be there huffing and puffing and oh so bored, or going outside and txing every 5 minutes 'are you done yet'. in my own time! i like to take some girlies sometimes, but then you gotta make everyone happy and they wont be happy to wait on you if you cant decide... so yes i go alone.

Nah, even the other girls disturb me at time. I don't like hanging around for other people. When PD shops...she SHOPS ;)

i only like to take girls when im buying something for a big night out, so they can judge whether i look ok. then they can bug off ;). i love shopping in Poland though, when i bring half my months wages from uk and go on an absolute spree, its amazing. 'do i buy this one, or that one? hmmm i dunno... ill just get both'.

The best shopping sprees :)

wow i've been away for two weeks and the first topic i read is 'why do you hate the Enlgish and England?' i mean really are you having a laugh :)

if somebody dosen't like England thats fair cop its their opinion but if somebody is living here and complaining then they can get back on the plane that brought them here!!! I'm all up for Jokes about the English and even complaints, however 'HATE about the English' is going a bit strong don't you think??

It's only fair when there's so many English coming onto the site to post in the Hate Polish thread. Understandable almost.

And as Osiol's post would illustrate - there hasn't been much more than light-hearted banter in this thread so far.

Haven't you read about PD and JustysiaS and their shopping spree advice?

In any case, why can't someone say they don't like milky tea?

YOU DON'T LIKE OUR BEVERAGES? GET BACK ON THAT PLANE, SCUM!!!

i hate english men

I like women who are all Hungarian.

edit: Sorry, that should be woman, singular.

I'm a post without a cause. Take me to Random Chat.
